In Jonathan Mestel’s article on p.46 there are a couple of moves
missing in the solution to No.10 (Rusinek):

After 5.a8=B! the continuation should read as follows: And
now 5...Sd5 is stalemate, so 5...Se5 6.Kb8 Sc6+ 7.Kc8 Bf1
and again White can’t play 8.b8=Q because of 8...Ba6+ 9.Qb7
Se4 10.Qxa6 Sd6#. 8.b8=S loses on material after 8...Se7+
9.Kb7 Bg2+ 10.Ka7 (10.Sc6 Bxc6+ 11.Ka7 Bd7) 10.Sc8+ 11.Ka6
Bxa8. This just leaves 8.b8=R!! Ba6+ 9.Rb7 and Black runs
out of ideas.

p. 146 Problem C11139 by Robert Lincoln. This problem has
six (6) intended solutions.

Sub-Editor David Shire writes about this problem - “When Bob
(Lincoln) gave me this diagram he made no comment ... and then, as
the story unfolded, I found it very satisfying. With 6 white pieces
in a miniature with a bK solus, I thought a 6 key stipulation was a
massive clue that would take the fun away. Hence my ‘cryptic
clue’”.
